What do we owe the Lord? We owe everything to the Lord! Everything we are and everything we ever hope to be, belongs to the Lord; all of the good we have ever done or ever will do is a result of His grace and goodness to us.

How different would our lives be if we began every day with that thought? How much pain and grief could we avoid if we actually took time at the start of each day meditating upon God's goodness to us, and praising and glorifying His holy name?

Why every day? Is it not enough to praise and worship God on the Lord's Day? Like children, we are prone to forget, as the duties of this life surmount everything else. As a matter of fact, we tend to wake up in the morning feeling the pressing needs of the day upon us before we even step out of bed.

Yet, we are called to give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, and to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Who is this Lord that He should demand so much? He is God; by Him do all things exist. He holds the key to everything that has and will happen from eternity past, to the present, and to the days to come until this world ceases to exist.

Yes, let us give unto the Lord the honor and glory that He alone rightly commands. Let us look to Him for all of the needs of this day as well as the needs of all of the days to come, and let us worship Him in the beauty of holiness!

About Me

I live in Pella, Iowa, with my husband, 1 child still at home, 1 dog and 2 cats. Along with this blog, I have a website: Devotional Reflections from the Bible. In addition, I am a piano teacher. I know I am truly blessed to be able to do two of the most important things in my life - write Bible devotionals and teach music.
God is so very good. My goal is to encourage others in their walk with the Lord, and to present the Gospel in a clear and direct manner. Christ is everything to me and that is my goal for my readers as well.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1, KJV
God Bless You,
